✦ CONVERSATIONS
Stories worth hearing
These interviews will be a space for honest STEM stories — the exciting parts, the confusing parts, the mistakes, the discoveries, and the moments that made someone keep going. Whether someone is a researcher, engineer, coder, teacher, student, mentor, or self-taught creator, her voice can help another girl feel less alone in her own path.
If a STEM woman, student, or mentor wants to share her experience, this page can become a place to celebrate her voice with respect, care, and permission.
